LAMANTIJN Dutch Smalschip 1/44

Dear friends,

today a bit of progress was made in the 60ft ship:

The spine was completed, the first bulkhead was doubleded and it does perfectly fit in it's place.

the deck's slot is 1mm thick, the spine 4mm, so both patterns have to be changed on every bulkhead.

Here the Line in the centerboard and the bulkheads do aline greatly at N°17, too:

When doubled the fitting runs out of line, so the stern half part has to be beaveled obviously here two views to show the situation clearly:

Sitting in the stern raised the N°18 bulkhead:

So little but percise progress was done.

Greetings from Berlin Card Yard, Chris
